hello. i fell in love with this hat and have made two already. thank you for the amazing tutorials.

i was wondering if you had a pattern for something like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIH0ntfwzCk] because she is going way too fast for me and my english isn't THAT good, haha. i thought i could pause it and write down the instructions but i'm still a little bit confused.

thank you.

Hi I am using a 4 ply yarn but the yarn is Simply Soft Eco. It is very soft and I am concerned that the yarn is alittle soft and the brim may be saggy. what do you think?

Teresa said...

ash,
You can try it and see what happens. Maybe use a smaller brim? The softer the yarn, the chances are greater of the brim being saggy.

I found this hat pattern today and decided i would try it.Your instructions are so easy to follow for a not to experienced crocheter.I think i will be making a few of these for the daughter and granddaughters,and probably for friends once they see the cap.Thank you again for many hours of relaxing enjoyment.

do you know what size hat this is? i am new at crocheting and I would like to make a 3 to 6 month baby one.

Teresa said...

Tami,
This is for a 21"-23" head. You can stop several rounds earlier when you are first making it to make a child size cap. I am including the playlist for baby items that I have posted on YouTube. There will be a link on each video to the written instructions.
